I think the US has mostly phased out antibacterial soap. The FDA rescinded its authorization of triclosan and a bunch of other similar antibacterial ingredients in 2016 and prohibited the marketing of antibacterial soaps and body washes with those ingredients as antiseptic or antibacterial.
This particular contamination of these 6 recalled products are hand soaps that aren’t antibacterial.
No, it’s still widely available. I have to have this argument with my wife on a regular basis.
Huh, interesting. What brands are still marketing themselves as antibacterial soap, and what are their active ingredients?
Pretty much every hand soap brand has antibacterial options. Softsoap, Dial, Suave, Dove, etc.
Benzalkoniun Chloride seems to be the anti-bacterial agent used now.
